Update about Stockholm, Sweden. 

A very small anti body study was revealed today. Test on blood from donors.

11 of 100 people tested positive for antibodies. Test conducted last week, +2 week for being healthy before donate = the result reflect status ~3 weeks ago. Sensitivity 70-80%, and other details, blah blah...

Conclusion according to experts is that ~30% of people in Stockholm could already have been infected.

The day with most deaths is the 8 of April and its seems the curve is flattening even when accounting for delayed reporting. So things are getting better. Tomorrow there will be a bump because of the weekend.

But I think the grey in this chart, the projection is taking the delayed weekend's into account. But its from random programmer dude, but the other colors is official data.

Is there any antibody study done on New York? Is the curve flattening there also?

I saw someone talk about how many people who grew up during the Great Depression lived the rest of their lives hoarding and pinching pennies just in case something like that happened again. They wondered if this generation would respond similarly to the virus issue.

I'm honestly not sure.

It certainly has the potential to have a lasting effect like that, but given the short attention span people have today, I'm not absolutely convinced it will.

Milady and I decided our plan is to embellish the stories we tell to future generations. I'm gonna spin yarns about having to fight my way through grocery aisles for a single pack of toilet paper.

I honestly believe this will have a lasting effect on millions of people.  I don't think this will be one of those things that's forgotten completely 6 months from now.  Now, I don't see it being totally life altering...but there are some habits and thoughts that will go thru millions of peoples heads going forward, even if its subtle.

My grandparents never trusted banks.
 

I’m going to pull a Bill Gates and horde food in my basement for the next pandemic. Also pay off my mortgage ASAP.

My grandpa (b. 1917), who was a decorated WW2 vet, did not like banks and was very tight with what little money he had. I think it’s why my dad is a cheapskate now.

Shall we try this again? I promise you that the third time will not be the charm. If it gets locked again it'll be for good and all this conversation will transfer to the TB.

In other news, I just found out from someone very much in the know that Colorado's stay at home mandate will be lifted on April 27th and Governor Polis is set to announce that today at 3:30.

Im speaking of Florida, Ga, and South Carolina. Three states who haven’t taken this seriously from the jump. Looks like they will continue this trend. 

Yeah, we're making our call based on some really good data and modeling, but the governor is up there pleading with people to let employees work from home whenever possible and to still try to stay at home as much as possible. The presser is still going on and my wife just got a text for a celebratory conference call starting in two minutes since "we'll be back to business as usual on Monday!"

Sigh...

Even though this decision is based on good data and modeling, it still relies on people not being idiots and in my experience that's always setting yourself up for disappointment.

Yeah, I have ZERO faith on entitled Americans not being idiots. This country is truly embarrassing. This is probably the most discouraged I’ve been throughout this whole pandemic.

SAH may be lifting for Co but its under pretty reasonable restrictions.

  • No gatherings of more than 10
  • Retail reopens with extreme distancing (60% capacity)
  • Personal services (salons and tattoos etc) can resume with restrictions
  • Vulnerable populations must stay home
  • Offices at 50% and telecommuting still preferred

Its not a free for all

 

Please bro you know how this poo works. Give a little people take a lot.

    • Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.  
    • 1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.  
    • I've grown to enjoy Mike & Tripp, even more so after listening to the ESPN, TNT, TBS hacks who, for whatever reason, seemingly don't know dick about the Canes.
